Some Curiositiess Gin Clocks.

The latest thing in clocks is tho
imitation of machinery of different
kinds" said a salesman in a John
street importing house. 1--WE have
Just received some very odd designs
in this line from Paris. Here is II
clock that would make Il fine present
for a railroad man, and he exhibited
a beautiful white bronze model of a
steam boiler. 1t had a steam-gaugc.
safety valve, and speed regulator, and
thermometer took the place Of the
water gauge. On the furnace door was
the dial of the clock and above it was
barometer. The whole apparatus
was about ten inches high and was
mounted on plush platform The
clock was running and the pendant
balls of the speed regulator were
whirling around merrily and doing the
work Of the pendulum.
Nov, here is something that would
please anybody. said the clerk, and
he showed u handsome windmill in
bronze aud gold, with clock face let
into the side Of the tower. The arms
Of the windmill were moving in such
a natural way that one could easily
imagine that he felt the breeze that
propelled them. Another design was
a well, built OF tiles held in place by a
gilt frame and an openwork we'll
house overhead in which bucket was
hanging suspended 10y chain, The
bucket served rs n pendulum and
swung in circle most mysteriously;
for it did not seem to have any con-
nection with the works of the { ock.
which were concealed in the well.
Here is something unique" said
the clerk, drawing the reporters at
tention to an elaborate affair. "This
is perfect miniature of boiler set
in brick foundation There are all
OF the valves, gauges, steampipes,
and connections complete. The end
of the boiler serves rs the dial of the
clock, and here at one side is steam
hammer moving ND and down with
great regularity and striking q bar of
brass that is held by workman.
That is designed as present for q
manufacturer. 1t costs 500. Here is
a freak of the designer that is very
neat 1t represents an old-fashioned
vertical saw at work. A workman
stands at the bench pushing a board
against the saw. On the front of the
bench Is the dial Of the clock. The
great beauty Of these designs is the
perfection to which the smallest de-
tails are carried We cannot turn out
such work in this country; it would be
too expensive, as it is all handworh,
and at the wages we pay our Artisans
these clocks would cost a small for

The Drummer's Best Girl.

Tie hurried up to the office as soon
as he entered the hotel, and without
waiting to register inquired eagerly:
Any letter for me?"
The clerk sorted over a package
with the negligent attention that comes
of practice, then tipped ono-a very
small one-on the counter.
The travelingman took it with a
curious smile that twisted his pleasant
looking face into mask of expect
ancy
He smiled more as he read it. Then,
oblivious of the other travellers who
jostled him, he laid it tenderly against
his lips and actually kissed it.
A loud guifaw startled him.
Now, look here, old fellow" said a
loud voice, "that won't do, you know.
Too spooney for anything. Confess
now, your wife didn't write that letter?"
mo, she didn't said the travelling
man with an amazed look, as if he
would like to change the subject.
That letter is from my best girl.
The admission was so unexpected
that the trio of friends who had caught
him said no more until after they had
eaten good dinner and were seated
together in a chum's room.
Then they began to badger him.

GOODNESS; 81 will give you the letter

been loudest in demanding it; 1--WE like

care to have her letter read by this

his friend.
But l insist upon it," was the
answer, There is nothing in it to be
ashamed of-except the spelling; that
is little shaky, I'll admit, but she
won't care in the least, Read it Hardy,
and judge for yourself"
Thus urged Hardy took up the letter,
shamefacedly enough, and read it.
There were only few words. First
he laughed-then swallowed sus-
piciously, and as he finished it threw
It on the table again and rubbed the
back of his hand across his eyes rs if

"Nimepenee is 123 cents, of course. "
"But thought that was a shilling?"
mo, a shilling is 168 cents, don't
you seeP And two and thrippence is
373 cents"
How very ingenious But do you
not find such odd sums rather incon-
yenient in counting?'
mo, indeedy. It's just as simple as
can be, Three fo'pence make shil-
ling. and three shillings make half Il
dollar. Sixpence is eight and third
cents, and three of them make a quar-
ter of dollar, Two nimepences
make twenty-five cents, and two and
thrippence is exactly half of seventy
five cents, which is four and six. Nine
shilings, of course, is $3.50, That
makes it clear, don't it, STRIP
Clear as mud, l replied. But

Instead of the Private Key.

The Sunday private key has depart

the back gate has taken its place.
Some of the devices are really in
genious.
Don't know how to get in there?"
asked young man who stood near a
saloon in Kensington. "Well, if you'll
set 'em up I'll show you. I'll take you
to the gate and if you can open it I'll
treat.
The offer was readily accepted. The
way to the back gate was a rounda-
bout one, but it was reached A rope
with a handle on the end invited a pull,
and the stranger pulled outward, and
even tried to raise the gate, but it re-
NAMED firm,
"Oh, it's locked and we're fooled,
he exclaimed in disgust.
Dye give it up? Well, I'll try it."
The young man took hold of Il board
which appeared to have been nailed
over hole in the gate and gave it q
quick pull outward. At the same time
he pushed upon the gate and it gently
swung inward Once inside the

hole had been bored throughs the gate
opposite the board which the young
man had pulled. A rope ran through
the hole, one end Of which was
attached to the board and the other to

simply said:

There are other ingeniously fastened
back gates in Philadelphia. There is

a small ring. A pull upon that ring
untastens the gate twenty-feet below
1t is so arranged that when the spring
bolt is withdrawn by the pull piece of
wood drops in front of it and holds it
there until it is removed. Another man
has arranged SO rs to open his side
gate by pulling outward the top of the

arranged similar to the first one de-

farther. He has an electrical attach
